I think property values will go up even more in cities after the pandemic. Cities offer a lot of value to certain people (namely young unmarried people) if all the services are open.

If they can work from home, they'll still want to be in the city, but they'll want a bigger place in the city. I can see a well paid engineer opting for a two bedroom place for themself instead one, so they can have a dedicated office to work from home, and still be in the city to hit up the bar or club at 6pm.

I'll bet we see the construction of more 2 and 3 bedroom units and fewer one bedroom/studios if the WFH trend continues after the pandemic.
Fair point.

The Wild West mentality in the US kind of sucks when technology allows even small businesses the ability to screw over large numbers of people.

Wasn't there an article about paying with your face around here just a bit ago? People clearly don't just tolerate this, but embrace it.

Only people from places where it's too late to go back (like China) are aware of the dangers of these systems, but they can hardly warn the rest of us and when they do, we generally don't listen as "something like that surely wouldn't happen in my free country".

It would seem that people only get slightly spooked when a government does something that could impact their privacy (even when it actually doesn't - see the recent covid tracking app backlash in basically every country) but when private companies do it, they eat it up hapily.

I remember an in-person presentation by Unbounce talking about their pricing model. They realized that anyone paying less than $99/month was not worth their time, so they removed those plans, barely reducing their monthly revenue, and focused on the high-end customers.

Looking at their pricing structure today, I see $80 being the lowest tier, going all the way to $300
Plywood was used for shields by the Romans, I'm fairly certain the Vikings, and wikipedia mentions the Greeks and Egyptians used it as well. From what I can tell from a quick google, it does seem to be a casualty of the Dark ages though.

Well, one bedrock design consideration at rsync.net is that there will never be an HTTP server on our systems - the storage is accessible by SSH only.[1] Surely that limits our product fit and reduces our growth BUT what it does for security and attack surface is priceless.

However, the idea that you might have a fixed subdirectory in your rsync.net account - with a distinct password and login - is interesting and we should think about that.

You're saying that would be useful even though it is accessible only by SFTP ?
Hard agree. If I'm paying for content, I'd accept a small number of discrete advertising. Video advertising on a text/ photo site pisses me off in general and if I was paying for it? No chance I'd let that fly.

Most of the features you can get for $4 per month for at Github you need to pay $49/mo for at Gitlab, such as the integration of security dependency scanning, secret scanning, dependabot alerts. My understanding is that you need to pay the top tier to get UI integrations for these things.

As the monorepo support could be better as it wouldn't support multiple reporter files, like junit xmls.

Personally, if I had the choice I would go for Github Enterprise. Big chance with Gitlab you have to pay for hosting your own Gitlab runners anyways.
And when it's a large bundle cut, it's going to take a bit before service is restored. I have been told that a highly skilled tech can splice a single strand in a matter of minutes. Looking it up, I find figures of an average of 30 minutes per joint for 4-strand bundles, and slowing down from there. So if you have a 144-strand bundle to repair, or multiple 144-strand bundles, it's going to take several hours to effect the repair, and you're probably going to have to rotate through techs to avoid fatigue-induced errors slowing things down even more.
The trackpoint most likely adds more to the thickness of the keyboard assembly than a touchpad. So in that neverending quest for the razorblade laptop thickness is shaved all around.

They're also an extra expense very few people care about. Most people who grew up with a touchpad hate the trackpoint experience and wouldn't use it for free, let alone pay for it or have it as only option. I own IBM and more recently Lenovo laptops because they still come with that red nub and I instinctively use it but I can understand why manufacturers don't bother including one given how little the market cares for them.

But the laptop still needs the space there in order to have a decent form factor. If anything it would need more space under the keyboard to have an even better 4:3 aspect ratio.
That's cool. Thanks for sharing :) I think anything created from scratch like this has value from an artistic standpoint.

Good luck with your future endevours!
Courts take a long time to rule on complex contract disputes. The whole point of insurance is that you need the money now, not years later, as was already explained nearby: <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25902290>.

Insurance payouts delayed are insurance payouts denied.

There are Nash equilibria at many different points on the curve, but only a narrow range where the value proposition of insurance is appealing to potential customers. An Insurance Commission's job is to force it into the range where negligence and arson are not paid, but genuine misfortune is paid immediately.

The premium tier is $19/user/m, not $49. Still, I agree that even $19 is high relative to the competition. We're currently on the (soon to disappear) $4/user/m Gitlab plan and now I'm wasting time trying to figure out if we'll lose anything we care about by dropping down to the free tier.

I'm curious, is this one implementation of sudo really used everywhere?

I was under the impression that different Linux userspaces sometimes implement these common commands differently. Like "ls" sometimes actually being aliased to a bash script, or maybe BSD having one implementation and Ubuntu another. Is that not the case? Is "sudo" not maintained by an entity like gnu, bsd, etc?

edit - in other words, I always assumed "sudo" was a highly-dependent system-level tool, not just some useful helper binary that is maintained by one independent person.

The way i see it voting machines mostly act as input validation to prevent faulty votes. US ballots can be quite complicated, it seems. The process still generates an auditable paper trail that is regarded as truth. Afaik there also have not been discrepances between the electronic and paper counts.

If people dont understand that printed paper ballots cant be changed by an air gapped electronic system you wont gain their trust anyway.
The vast majority of fiber optic cuts are someone digging through the cable underground.

You can't realistically prevent this with additional armoring, because it's quite a different failure to someone drilling in the wrong place - the forces are a lot higher, or heavy machinery is involved etc. (see also: the rate at which workers go through water mains in footpaths).
I think that feature uses some private or extension-only APIs, whereas Photopea can only use what's available to normal webpages.
A couple of years ago I got hired (from an HN “who is hiring” thread, actually) to work on Telepresence to make development for Kubernetes more like local development, and opening up the cloud to more people. Well, I ended up getting pulled on to other projects for a long time, but I did finally get to work on that, and am excited to finally ship the next generation of it.

When I started, Telepresence did two big things: Firstly, it was essentially a VPN that connected your laptop to the cluster (as if it were a Pod in the cluster), so that you could code locally against services running in your cluster. Secondly, it also intercepted traffic that would normally have gone to an existing service in your cluster, and routed that traffic to your laptop, so you could see how the whole thing behaved with just your one microservice changed. Why go through that trouble, instead of just using minikube and doing everything on your laptop?”

Besides rewriting a lot of the old Python code in Go to make the thing easier to install (that xkcd about crazy Python installs turned out to be less of a joke than I thought) and addressing other snags that were keeping people from using Telepresence, most of our work in the last few weeks has been to make it easier to work as a team: Now instead of intercepting all of the traffic going to a service, it's possible to intercept only a subset of it, so that a team can use a shared dev cluster, instead of each needing their own cluster. It's possible to share Ambassador-Cloud-based “preview URLs” that have your intercept all set up, so that you can show what you're working on to your manager, a designer, or whoever.

There will be a lot more coming soon; features that the old Telepresence had that we haven’t re-implemented yet, and some robustness and quality of life changes that the new architecture allows us to finally implement. As much as I’d have liked to cram those in to today’s release, I’m still proud of what we shipped today.

So, check out the 3-minute demo video, or click “Try it Yourself” to download it and try it out. I’d really appreciate your feedback.

(I waffled on whether to put “[video]” in the title; I figured the link to download it and get started is as much if not moreso the thing that I’m linking to. My apologies if I figured wrong.)

Zoom's choices on network peering and redundancy could cause it to be grouped together with Verizon. Assuming, for example, it's a problem with some big peering points. Or, say, both accepted the same bad BGP route for something while other places didn't.

Though it's also possible that a lot of Verizon customers first see the outage as "Zoom isn't working" and Wapo is just blindly echoing that grumbling. Seems likely since perhaps the first internet experience of the morning for many would be "join the Zoom call".
What I mean is that things are really out of our control. The government decided to move manufacturing out and there was nothing we were able to do about it. Colleges decided to raise their prices to obscene levels and there was really nothing we could do about it. The banks did whatever they wanted, we bailed them out and we really didn't have any say in the matter. The healthcare industry keeps charging us the highest prices in the world and we do nothing about it. The list goes on and on.

ETL and ELT are similar but separate things. ELT has been popular for a few years now, and the data lake approach as well as cheap storage has solidified it as the current preferred way to do a data warehouse.
Scale: wrapping all fiber optic cables in a protective metal sheath would be cost prohibitive. Whereas adding a metal sheet to prevent a house from flooding or someone from getting electrocuted makes sense.

One idea, borrowed from some chainsaw safety pants, would be to wrap the cable in a fiber web sheath that tangles in whatever cutting equipment

Brave's method of slightly randomizing the metrics gets around that. They call it farbling.

Those would be much worse strategies than even just not supporting hsts at all.

> Or to randomly respect the cache

If the goal is to manipulate a single request to insert malicious js that gets cached, you only need a single non tls request. If you're an on path attacker, you can probably get the user to request things multiple times (e.g. randomly break and unvlbreak internet connectivity) until you get lucky with an unencrypted connection. If you're trying to make a super cookie you can just repeat and average out the random failures (random pertubation almost never prevents a side channel leak, at most it makes it more expensive)

>Or to simply make every request to both the TLS and non-TLS port but do so in parallel and discard the non-TLS response if the domain was in the HSTS cache.

Auto-deleting cookies or other content in a way that doesn't resemble Safari ITP would indicate that a device at your IP address is constantly losing tracking cookies in an uncommon manner, theoretically increasing your trackability.

Websites can only make inferences based on the absence of unique cross-site cookies if you are configuring your browser in non-default ways. If all Firefox 85+ users are partitioning, then any inferences drawn from that behavior do not increase your trackability — and it could well decrease it, as those Firefox 85+ users will be joining the swarm of Safari users whose browser has already done the same sort of partitioning for a couple years.

Multi Account Containers are an oddity, and alone they would not be particularly distinguishable from a multi-user computer (which, at a home residence, could be unusual; many people don't have User Accounts on a shared device). However, when combined with cross-container tracking infection (such as URL parameter tags designed to survive a transition to another container, e.g. fbclid or utm_*), it's possible to identify that a user is using containers, which is a very rare thing and not available by default, thus increasing risk of being tracked.

UBlock Origin allows far too much customization for me to prepare any clear reply there. I imagine it is possible to run UBO with a ruleset that only interferes with requests to third-party adservers, without letting the first-party know that this is occurring. I doubt, however, that a majority of UBO users are running in such a circumspect mode. Adblocking often requires interfering with JavaScript in ways that are easily visible to the first-party (who has a vested interest in preventing ad fraud).

Fingerprinting is a known defense against fraudulent clicks, so there's a lot to puzzle over there. But I definitely don't like to take active steps to make myself stand out from others. I'm annoyed that I'm tracked a little on the web, but I'm indistinguishable from the general pool of "users with default browser settings" today. That's a type of protection that addons can't provide. I'm not wholly certain what I think yet, but happily the browsers continue advancing the front of protection forward, so maybe by the time I decide it won't matter anymore. YMMV.

ps. I'm glad to see your much more nuanced consideration of this balance, and I wish that more took your careful approach here when recommending "privacy" setups to others.
I'd be interested in seeing the comment you're referring to.

I can find sources that suggest the rate of children being born blind is on the order of 1 in 10000 [1], and that the rate of schizophrenia is on the order of 1 in 1000 [2] (and the actual numbers in those articles are slightly larger).

Multiplying those, you'd expect 1 in 10 million people (conservatively) to have both. That means there should be a few tens of people with both in the USA, and a few hundred worldwide, if the conditions are independent.

One factor I'd like to bring up here is that it's significantly easier for Canadians to work in the US than it is for people of other countries. Canadians have access to the TN visa, which is effectively automatic, while most other countries need an H-1B, which is lottery-based (last time I was in the lottery it was about a 1/3 chance of getting it).

As a result, I think "non-Canadians who came for their undergrad and now moving to wherever they get the best job" is a smaller set of people than you'd think, simply because they're held back by the (Byzantine) immigration system in the US.

Another related factor is that if you go to an American university for undergraduate CS rather than a Canadian one, you get the opportunity to use OPT (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optional_Practical_Training), which gives you up to 36 months to roll for an H-1B visa. Add onto that the fact that there are so many good American CS universities to choose compared to Canadian ones, I'd expect most international students to study in the US versus at Waterloo if their goal was to work in California.
